Against the new Laws in Arizona

You know, most people who are for the Arizona bill don't realize what it means for Americans with latino heritage. That's the main complaint. Illegals aside, it's the rights of Our brothers and sisters who happen to have brown skin that are being trampled on. This law will not be abused in 5 or 8 or 13 instances. It will be abused much more than ... See Morethat. Imagine if you had to carry around paperwork wherever you went, and faced jailtime if you accidentally didn't have it on you- because you were white. Imagine if your children had to. How do you explain to your teenage kids, as you pick them up from a holding cell where they've been detained for not having their papers leaving some grocery store- that they're no different from other kids? This bill will humiliate many good Americans, whose families have been American for many generations more than some of ours.

And what happens when a native american man or woman is questioned because they look mexican, and don't have any paperwork, well, because they're NATIVE AMERICAN? It's going to happen within the first month. And when that does happen, the Irony will be so tremendous that his or her head will likely implode from frustration.

This bill is not protecting our sovereignty quite as much as it is dividing our unity. It's intention is superseded by it's ramifications. There has to be another way that doesn't trample on the rights of our American brothers and sisters with Latino heritage.

' With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
